Clarissa and the King’s Cookbook
With my liking of the two fat ladies and all-things-medieval I’m looking forward to Clarissa Dickson Wright’s TV programme ‘Clarissa and the King’s Cookbook‘. In this documentary, Clarissa cooks from The Forme of Cury, a 700-year-old scroll that was written during the reign of King Richard II by the chefs of his household.
If you fancy cooking some original medieval recipes, like Roo Broth or Ryse of Flesh, you can view images of The Forme of Cury on pbm.com or the text is available on Project Gutenburg.
Watch the programme tomorrow on BBC Four Wednesday 7 May 2008 at 9pm.
